* Today I asked Phil if we could adopt a puppy named "Chester". He said no. Actually, he said that I had a choice to make: to travel or to have a puppy. I told him that Chester LOVES to travel, at which point I lost any choice. Alas, no dog for Kuwait. But two dogs are waiting for us in Canada!!!
* The cutest grade 5 student ever (who has been a favourite in many school-related posts this year) gave Phil a "Cat in the Hat"-like tail to wear during class this afternoon. He remains the most adorable kid of all time.
* Window washers are BRAVE people. I am currently watching a man wash the windows on the tall building across the road. To him I say: 1) YOU ROCK and 2) Thanks for keeping our city SHINY and CLEAN!!!
* Oprah's final show led to the many tears I anticipated. How giving, compassionate, and open-minded can one woman get?! I'd say we have a good role model to look to, ladies!
* People at school are selling things. Cars, televisions, bedroom sets, mobile phones, etc. What does Phil decide to purchase? A rice-cooker/vegetable steamer. He can't wait to use it tonight! (Haha, just another reason why I love him so much).
* While on "prep" this afternoon I went through a bout of sadness when I realized that I only have a few more classes with my students. Of course this realization has some happiness with it, but I am genuinely going to miss them. They are all so unique and special.
* Phil's basketball team won their playoff game last night and are now advancing to the finals! WAY TO GO, BOYS!
* Have you seen those "power balance" bracelets that have become ridiculously popular?! Well, I think they're sketchy. I have done some research and can conclude that the company likes to "go around the point" instead of "get to the point". Just check out their FAQ section online! The placebo effect is a likely explanation for the undefined benefits of the product.
* The new Gaga album is fantastic! Did you see her interview on Good Morning America? If you've ever doubted this musical genius, you must watch it! You will fall in love with what she stands for and who she is as a person. LOVE HER.
* Last night I came home to the sweetest surprise. Before he left for basketball, Phil made a path of rose petals to the room where my pajamas, charged laptop, and cup of tea were waiting for me! LOVE HIM.
How was your tea my dear?
XOXO
